The effective diameter hard sphere theory is employed to estimate the transport properties (TP's) of semiclassical fluids. The TP's of the fluids are expressed in terms of a classical hard sphere (HS) fluid of properly chosen hard sphere diameter. The explicit expressions for the shear viscosity and thermal conductivity for the HS fluid are given. The theory is applied to estimate the TP's of fluids Ar and Ne. The agreement is found to be fairly good.
